My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet this charming fella named Rigby! He came into the shelter September 12, 2023 when his owner could no longer keep him. He is 3 years old, current on shots, already neutered, and owner said he was good with other dogs, cats, and children too. He is very energetic and will need a owner that can provide him with plenty of exercise and structure. He is smart and wants to please. Knows sit on command and LOVES LOVES playing fetch with a ball or toy. Maybe you have the most perfect loving FOREVER home for with a fenced in Yard preferably for Rigby to run and play freely in? Stop by for a visit with Rigby today and adopt him into your heart and home!
If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.
The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.
